FIREFIGHTERS were called out shortly after 4am this morning following reports of a van being on fire in Old Alder Lane, Burtonwood, Warrington.
On arrival the crew found the vehicle well alight. A firefighter wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire with a hose reel jet.
They then damped the van down to make it safe.
